    Fatal Glitch: Rewrite

    It feels like Fatal Glitch has new meaning this month when we've hit twenty degrees Celsius in February - in the UK! It reminds me to get back into my edits too, so that's the plan for March. I've spent a lot of this month making the most of the weather in the garden, getting it ready for spring and starting off seedlings indoors. I've also been reading and commenting on the novels of the two alpha readers I swapped books with. One has given me their feedback, which brings me

    While I Slept: Between The Editing Lines

    As the title would suggest, this novel is still in the editing stages. There are 29 chapters currently, and I’m working on chapter four. There were a lot of changes toward the start of the book to improve interaction between the characters and improve the pace of the plot. Sometimes I think I need some sort of countdown to mark off each chapter as they’re done! I can see now how some writers struggle to let go of their work; it can be easy to nitpick at a piece long after you

    Final Stages: The Russian Sleep Experiment

    Overview This project is now in its final stages. We have a front cover (which we’re keeping under wraps for a few more weeks yet – sorry!) and the final third of the story is back to me for editing. Once that is done, the piece gets one more edit as a whole, and we’ll be working toward publication, with a much better idea of a precise publication date. The Artwork I’m in love with the front cover and I think it looks really good. We have both a black and white and a colour v

    The Russian Sleep Experiment Part III

    Everything is coming along nicely with The Russian Sleep Experiment novella. I finished the first draft of the part 3 at the end of the Chistmas holidays - around 2 weeks ago - and yesterday I sent my edit of this section to the publisher for their edit. It feels like everything is coming together! The publisher and I have even seen a rough first draft of the front cover and the composition and atmosphere is already striking. I can't wait to see what the artist comes up with

    My Short Story Made a Top 100 (or so) of 2014 List!

    It's a bit early for new year but I think celebrations are still in order! Today I checked my twitter feed, only to find I have been listed on James Everington's website. He has listed me as one of his favourite 93 odd short stories of 2014. These are stories which "impress [...him] enough to make a note of it in the first place, and then still seem as impressive when [...he] whittled the list down for this post." I am so honoured to be included and am happy to see that two o

    The Russian Sleep Experiment - Part II

    Those who have read my Upcoming Releases page know I've been working on a Novella which follows and extends the story of The Russian Sleep Experiment. Yesterday I finished editing part II. It needs one final read through and then I am on to writing the final third of the story, where minds get twisted without the obvious chemical influence of Gas 76-IA. (Fictional) researchers, prisoners and civilians will be and have been harmed in the making of this narrative. I have tried
